Recycled Hawtness: Bitchin' Lowrider Vintage Vespa (w/ video)

What you’re looking at here is a steel-bodied vintage Vespa stripped down to its bare-metal frame and set down onto the same kind of lowering airbags used by lowrider aficionados (yes, I just typed that) in the hot rod and chopper communities. In a word? It’s awesome.

This is the second vintage Vespa we’ve featured in the Recycled Hawtness series, but it couldn’t be more different than Scooterworks’ resto-mods. This is a great example of what’s possible when you try to combine a “reduce, re-use, re-cycle” attitude to custom vehicles, and one of the coolest 90 MPG vehicles available anywhere.

You can check out the finished product in the photo gallery, below, and don’t skip the video if you want to get a sense of how the airbag suspension works. Enjoy!
